How does EMDR help with a fear of driving?
EMDR helps with a fear of driving by addressing the underlying memories, body sensations, or beliefs that trigger anxiety behind the wheel. This fear often develops after accidents, near misses, panic attacks, or prolonged stress while driving. During EMDR, bilateral stimulation supports the brain in reprocessing these experiences so they feel less threatening and less connected to present-day driving. Over time, physical symptoms such as racing heart, tension, or dizziness often reduce, and avoidance decreases. EMDR focuses on changing how fear is stored in the brain, helping driving feel safer, calmer, and more manageable without forcing exposure before you feel ready.
